The current approach for addressing the fabrication error in SiPIC devices is expensive and insufficient, significantly limiting the potential of the SiPIC technology. The solution we have developed is to tune the SiPICs using femtosecond laser pulses. By irradiating the silicon waveguides with single or multiple laser pulses, we can correct errors in the circuit […]

Understanding the stretchy qualities of complex fluids is crucial for industries such as inkjet printing, food manufacturing, fiber spinning, and pharmaceuticals. Special devices called filament and capillary breakup rheometers are often used to study these properties. Despite this, one of the biggest challenges in these industries is accurately measuring the “relaxation times” — a key […]

This project focuses on developing an innovative, automated wearable oxygen delivery system specifically designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other respiratory ailments. By incorporating advanced sensor technology, the system will dynamically adjust oxygen flow based on the user’s real-time respiratory needs, allowing for greater mobility […]

Accompagner la réalisation de mandats en amélioration continue par l’intégration d’outils permettant l’automatisation de tâches ou activités dans la planification des rendez-vous dans le secteur de la radiologie.

The energy consumption by Radiofrequency Integrated Circuit Power Amplifiers (RFIC PAs) in mobile handsets is a major factor determining the battery life of this equipment. Any increase in the power efficiency of RF PAs will reflect significantly as an increase in the battery life of the portable wireless devices. This work addresses the need to […]

The intern will undertake comprehensive market analysis, devise targeted marketing approaches, and produce educational content to enhance the client’s visibility and engagement within the industry. The expected […]

In this project, the intern will tackle the production challenges currently faced by the industrial partner. Specifically to overcome inconsistent open/close pressures of a low profile vent valves intended for active packaging of roasted coffee. Vent valves, made of multiple layers of polymeric materials, are capable of relieving the internal pressure of a coffee package […]

CarbOne Biodiversité has engaged with our research team to evaluate potential uses for lightly contaminanted soils to further develop the circular economy. The project will evaluate geotechnical properties of lightly contaminated soils to develop a list of proposed uses (e.g., foundations, fill materials, etc.). CarbOne Biodiversité aims to merge the needs of economic development with […]

Lignocellulosic biomass plays a vital role in the global shift away from the utilization of non-renewable petrochemical resources. the market demand for lignocellulose nanofibrils has increased dramatically as they are attractive as a bio-based material due to their high strength, low density, high aspect ratio, functional ability, and biodegradability. Therefore, the sharing of scientific knowledge […]

This project is a necessary step toward model development for machine condition assessment that is capable of both diagnosis and prognosis including root cause analysis. The analytical model, once validated and calibrated can serve as a baseline model or a template for the detection of machine health problems. Because of the details of a machine […]

Le projet vise à élaborer et proposer des solutions intégrées à la problématique de gestion des déchets pour un territoire dans le région de la ville de Xalapa (Mexique). Pour cela, le projet prévoit deux stages : (1) mise en valeur agricole des matières résiduelles organiques et en particulier des résidus du secteur du café […]

The cornea is a thin transparent tissue that protects the internal parts of the eye and refracts light onto the retina. Severe corneal damage can lead to irreversible scarring that prevents light from passing through the cornea, causing long-term vision loss. The best treatment for severe corneal damage is to transplant donor corneal tissue from […]
